    The First Pentecost

    Acts 2:1-13
    YOU WILL NEED:
    Red underlay (50cm x 90cm)
    Block to represent a table
    3D figures: 4 disciples, 8 people from other countries, including some children.
    Children are seated in a semi-circle ready to listen to the story. When the children are ready carry the
    materials carefully from the story shelf to the story area and place beside you.
    Hold the Bible in front of you:

    This story comes from a book called The Acts of the Apostles in the New Testament
    section of the Bible
    Respectfully place bible beside you.
    Spread underlay as you say

    After his resurrection Jesus appeared to many of the disciples.


    Place table in middle edge of the underlay closest to you; one disciple on each of the four sides of the table
    facing inwards.

    He told them they must wait in Jerusalem until the Holy Spirit came upon them.
    Now when the Jewish feast of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place
    Move your hands rapidly all around Peter and the apostles

    when suddenly there came from the sky a sound like the rush of a violent wind, and it filled
    the entire house in which they were.
    Place the heel of your right hand into the palm of your left, flicker your upward facing fingers

    Divided tongues that looked like fire appeared among them


    Make a flame with your thumb and forefinger. Touch each of the apostles as you say:

    ... and a tongue rested on each one of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and
    began to speak in other languages as the Spirit gave them ability.
    Place two people (from other countries) slightly inwards from the centre left of the underlay; another two from
    centre right; another two from far left corner; and another two from far right corner; with all these people
    facing inwards to form a semi-circle as you say:

    Now at that time there were many good and holy Jews from every nation who had travelled
    to Jerusalem for the Jewish Feast of Pentecost.
    Move the two apostles on the left side of the table out - one each to one of the groups on the left side of the
    underlay, as you say:

    The apostles moved out to the crowd telling about the mighty deeds of God.
    Move the two apostles on the right side of the table out - one each to one of the groups on the right side of
    the underlay, as you say:

    The people were bewildered because each one heard them speaking in their own language.
    Hold out your hands, palms upwards

    Amazed and astonished, they asked, Are not these apostles from Galilee? How is it each
    one of us hears them in our own native language?
    But others sneered and said, They are filled with new wine.

    Sit back, pause for a moment, then wonder about the story with the students.

    I wonder how those who received the Holy Spirit felt.


    I wonder how they knew that they were filled with the Holy Spirit.
    I wonder why the early Christians used fire to describe what the coming of the Holy Spirit
    was like.
    I wonder why the early Christians used wind to describe the coming of the Holy Spirit.
    I wonder how the apostles were able to speak in different languages.
    I wonder what the people did after hearing the disciples speak.
    I wonder why some of the people sneered and said the apostles were drunk.
